Fette Haenel Fraktur Font

Fette Haenel Fraktur by D. Steffmann of Typographer Mediengestaltung is a free blackletter font rooted in the dense, theatrical forms of Fraktur. Broad main strokes meet needle-sharp joins and pronounced thick-thin changes, with diamond-like cuts recurring across the letters. Pointed tops form a jagged skyline.

Designers working in metal music, historical publishing, or dark fantasy will find its severe silhouette immediately useful. It fits album artwork and book covers, and can give event posters the force of an engraved proclamation. Those repeated diamond shapes also suit heraldic emblems and medieval-inspired illustration, turning the lettering into part of the ornament.
